I think 107 or 110 would be to short given the curvature of the
chainstays to fit larger tires on an Atlantis.

I think it would make a great touring bike. Like the RB-T, it's not built for
super-heavy expedition loads, but anything short of that will be fine.

I have put 44mm knobbies on MA3 rims, and it seemed to work fine. Perhaps
with rims of this width, you must keep the tire pressure a bit higher than
you would have to with a wider rim. But like you, I didn't experientially
understand the advice that you must use a wider rim with a wider tire.

BTW, what is that color?
